Product Description

This Planar 21by9 81 display is part of Planar's ultra-wide 21:9 large-format series, designed to enhance collaboration and cinematic viewing in a single panel. The 5K ultra-wide resolution and 21:9 geometry provide a wide canvas that aligns well with video collaboration platforms and front-row meeting layouts, giving remote and in-room participants more usable space than a standard 16:9 panel. The D-LED backlight produces 700 nits of brightness with HDR support, helping content stay vivid and legible in rooms with significant ambient light. Advanced processing supports Picture-in-Picture and dual-source layouts, so teams can display multiple inputs at once during reviews and working sessions. Commercial-grade construction supports 24x7 operation, and the display is ETSI EN 303 645 certified for consumer IoT security alongside TAA compliance for government and regulated procurement. Integrated speakers simplify deployments where a separate audio system is not required, and the included mount streamlines installation. Flexible landscape and portrait orientation supports a range of room designs. As a large ultra-wide panel, professional mounting and source integration are recommended for the best result.
